The Perfect Game Page #5

thanks to your

continuing prayers,

Mrs. Montez's boils

have finally healed.

And Senora Santana,

has given birth

to triplets!

And lastly,

Monterrey, has just been awarded its

very first Little League franchise!

#For it's one, two #

## Three strikes,

You're out #

## At the old ball game ##

They're limping.

I made them wear their baseball

shoes for the past few days.

But their feet

will blister.

Better now

than at the field.

You're treating them like

you're still a manager

in that magic

league in St. Louis.

It's Major League,

Maria, Major.

Still, it seems

mean to me.

What's mean you is you not

going out to dinner with me.

Not until you meet

my Father, it's only proper.

We come back

from Texas on Wednesday,

tell him I'll meet him

that night, I promise.

Okay.

Are they praying?

No, they're

watching that hummingbird.

Why?

I told them when they see

his wings they can hit any pitch.

You don't really believe

that, do you Father?

They do.

On the field!

Five minutes!

Nine of you boys

showed up

but only one team

is going to McAllen.

I got fourteen!

I'll make up the

two shifts next weekend.

Two shifts? And you'll

be back next weekend?

I will be back.

Stop filling

Angel's head with crazy ideas.

Like what?

Like going to Texas

to play baseball.

He needs to know

his place.

Like where, here? Working

the furnaces at Fundidora?

Fundidora feeds

my family.

My Father and Grandfather worked here,

and so will Angel.

Well maybe Angel's got his own

dreams, you ever think about that?

Dreams don't

build cities.

Men and iron do.

You make a very

handsome baseball star.

Umberto.

Where does he

think he's going?

To Texas with the team, remember?

I don't remember

saying you can go.

Umberto.

Papa, I'm going.

Why not?

One less mouth to feed for a few days.

Come on, we're late for the bus.

Si.

Purpose of your

visit to the United States?

Baseball game

in McAllen.

That's over ten miles away.

There's no bus stop here.

They're used

to walking.

Hey, empty those out!

One pair of

underwear, that's all they brought?

They only

got one game.

See that you don't

leave no one behind.

#To the

miracle of the light #

#From the darkness

Of the night #

#When you see forever #

#In everything you do #

Pepe, use mine.

#No matter what you dream

It is waiting there for you #

Good luck.

Friends.

Don't forget,

it's only a three-day visa.

#Open your eyes #

#Awake and realize #

#That the journey

You must take #

#Is the miracle you make #

Listen up, y'all.

Here's the field where we're

going to kick some butt.

That's right!

What the...

They've never seen

mowed grass before.

Oh.

Well, if that
